ABOUT KESATRIA

A brief history

The event of two demonstrations of Malaysian higher education students including ITM in late 1975 was the starting point for the establishment of the Knights Unit as it led to approximately 200 students being expelled from ITM. Since then, ITM has taken this matter seriously. For them, the demonstration highlighted the need to increase discipline among ITM students. Unit Kesatria was formally established in 1976. And in 1978, it became a co-curriculum and also a compulsory subject for students to pass as the ITM Council would not issue a diploma to students who failed in that subject. On October 2, 2007, Unit Kesatria was renamed to the Curriculum Unit whose function was changed to take full responsibility for the implementation of the training of all curriculum courses. Today, most of UiTM has their own Komander Kesatria and battalions either in the main campus or branch campus.
